This, signed for Toronto FC on 31 August but is not in the current "senior roster" (he is in the reserves). Seems unlikely he would now be on trial with the Skates, although if not good enough for MLS he should suit them fine. He is 35.

Set pieces is when we will need Jos to mark (or at least be "in the zone" with) Fellaini. Otherwise it will primarily be Spiderman to keep him in check.

Nope, he has been playing right back or right side of midfield most games this season, hence why I made the remark about our left side, Clyne would be wasted on the left, we desparately need him on the right (maybe we can clone him and play him on both sides, a Clyne clone would be good).

Sorry, but playing Frazer at RB is a recipe for disaster, don't get me wrong I like him, but we need Clyne at RB to try to negate the threat from Baines & Pienaar. Their right side is not so much of a threat (Neville), hence why it would probably make sense to play Yosh at LB (where is can play) and use Jos in the middle to counter Fellaini. Otherwise side is what I would pick, actually we are getting close to having a side that picks itself.

1979 semi-final, maybe its an omen :-) Hope the weather is better this time.

It could be. I almost feel proud of the fact that like Swansea, Reading and a few other enlightened clubs, my Club is not so anal as to worry about whether it has a fecking fans charter or not. More interested in whether we win a game of football on a Saturday afternoon.

Did I? What label was that then? Can't see any label of any sort in my post.

You do talk some twaddle, another of the deluded few who still think they are at primary school and that everyone is in their gang or the other gang. Who are these mythical people you seem to want to "keep in check". Just because some people do not want to have a pop at the club for any trivial reason. Who really gives a toss whether the club has a supporters charter on the web site or not. I don't recall ever looking for a club charter during the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or even the noughties, I just went along to watch the footy and support my team. Supporters charters, just another sign of the namby pamby nature of the game these days.

My response specifically referred to "on loan".

No real surprise to see who is raising this issue. Every negative that can be found will be found by certain posters.

Dickson is in the squad, see http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/saints-submit-squad-list-354115.aspx I actually find it hard to believe that we would not play him because it might cost us £25k, maybe in past incarnations of Saints, but not now. Just don't think this is the reason. The simple fact is that he is not good enough, wasn't good enough in the Championship let alone the PL. Guess we just haven't found a club willing to take him on loan as yet, that will probably change once a few teams start to get a few injuries/suspensions.

He wasn't on international duty. Does anyone really know what he did or are we just trying to find a new scapegoat to replace Guly?

Richardson had a great game on Saturday, but we must have Clyne back on the right for Everton to counteract Baines/Pienaar. I would play Yosh at LB, he is able to play at LB, and has the pace but not the height to counteract Fellaini. Everton are **** hot down their left, not so potent on their right (Neville). I would go Gazza (or Boruc if fit/available), Clyne, Fonte, Jos, Yosh, Davis, Spiderman, Punch, Ramirez, Lallana, Lambert

Not strictly true, he played in the JPT against Crawley, which Crawley lost 3-2, so he must be improving form his usual "four past".

Sorry, but they were absolutely shocking, 4 attacks in the whole game, scored one from a blunder by Jose. Posed no threat but managed a spell of 10 minutes when they kept possession well but offered no threat. One of the worst performances I have ever seen from a winning team, on the day they looked like a poor L1 team. One brilliant goal (which it really wasn't, it was just poor defending) does not mean they played well by any stretch of the imagination.

And to think we played them when they were horrific and still managed to lose.

Yes, about 8 minutes ago, still 0-0

I think it was Jose.

Misunderstanding, apparently not on his twitter account, it seems none of the panel of elite referees is on social media, which seems eminently sensible of them.

I will not condone what was allegedly tweeted about Halsey, but you have to be some sort of dickhead to be a PL referee and to have a public twitter account. Re the suggestions to play Boruc tomorrow, he was signed on Saturday subject to international clearance, suspect it may not have come through yet, in which case he can't play anyway. He has had no pre-season because he has been out of contract so probably not fit, certainly not Saints fit. He looked like he was feeling the cold on Saturday wearing 2 or 3 coats, so may not be ready for an appearance on a cold Autumn evening. Think Gazza should play, after all he certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped after Saturday, and needs to build up experience. Would like to know if Chung is fit, if so he really needs to play. I would not risk any of our first choice CBs tomorrow.

Wotton missed the second, but someone else missed the first, possibly McGoaldrought

Watford at home

I recall a couple of years back when Whisky George was being discussed before I put together stats for games played with and without Snodin. Without Snodin GB's stats were poor to say the least. Don't know now where the numbers are. But anyone who tries to put a good spin on GB's time at Saints is seeing his time through rose tinted spectacles, he was awful, and in the end completely embarrassing.

I think they were confused because his shirt says Gaston. They probably did not realise it was the same person.

No LB, that's all..
